Is #4 the Matrix trilogy (the actresses who played The Oracle)?
Is #7 Gia?
I got nothing. And I feel like I’ve at least heard #6.
Wait, never mind, I’m wrong.
Is #7 The Notorious Bette Page?
#2 is Scooby-Doo, isn’t it?
If Steve H is right, then I’m guessing the theme is either Buffy or Whedon.
Roberta, you’ve got it, but getting the tie-ins would be nice. 🙂
Tie-ins to the Whedonverse:
Scooby-Doo is, obviously, Sarah Michelle Gellar.
The Matrix films is Gina Torres, who played Jasmine on Season 4 of Angel.
Don’t know the connection for The Notorious Bette Page.
Know what’s funny? I wasn’t even thinking of Sarah Michelle, I was just thinking of the Scoobies!
Roberta: Ha!
Mel: Torres was also a star of Firefly. Are you NOT a Browncoat? For shame!
I’ll publish the remaining connections after everything is solved and everyone has had a chance to go for it.

Ouch! Them’s fightin’ words! 🙂
When I hear “Whedonverse,” I tend to think BtVS and Angel, since they exist in a joined fictional world. I think of Firefly in it’s own world.
I think Sarah Paulson must be the Bettie Page tie-in (she played the hologram in Serenity).
Oooh, oooh! #3 is American Pie, starring Teh Hannigan.
There are two Bettie Page tie-ins, Tom, and Paulson is not as good as the other one.
Isn’t #1 Waitress? I don’t ever get any of these.
Well sure, there’s Jonathan Woodward too. I just didn’t want to go with the really obvious one. 😉
treecat, you got this one!
Tom, sure I totally believe that.
#6 is Imagine Me & You, with Anthony Head (Rupert Giles, Buffy). I didn’t get that totally on my own, of course, but I waited until nobody else came up with it, and even then it took a little crafty searching.
Crafty searching is allowed, especially this late in the game.

Looks like I am the worst fan ever, because I have not seen a one of these films.
I can’t believe how stumped we all are…
Oh, you’re sneaky! I was trying (and failing) to think of a movie where Laurence Fishburne or Keanu Reeves played a one-legged veteran. But the “movie referenced in this quiz” isn’t one of the correct answers: It’s the other movie directed by the director of The Notorious Bettie Page, Mary Harron, the “story of a serial killer,” American Psycho, starring Christian Bale. Which makes the answer to #5 3:10 To Yuma, which features Firefly’s Alan Tudyk.
Melville, BRILLIANT!
